This is old news to me, but I realized I never told you guys! Dweezle, for those of you who don't know, is my 130 pound Rotti/Australian Shepherd mix, and he is a TANK! I only have 15 or 20 pounds on him, and he's a puller. A really, really bad puller o.o When I walk him, I used to have to use a choker, pulled up around behind his ears (you know, where its supposed to go), but I would have to pull it up all the time because his fur is so soft, and the collar was actually a bit too big, so it wouldn't stay up for very long.
So, I went on a mad hunt for an Easy Walk harness, and it turns out it only can be purchased at PetSmart. So, after a trip to like 4 other pet stores, we went in there (everyone loves us there lol), and they me take the biggest one they had out of the package and put it on him. Its a tight fit (he's like all chest LOL), but I don't think it bothers him. He walks great with it on =3 Still pulls a bit because he's so freaking huge compared to me, but its so much better, and I have a lot more control over him. Plus he's a little stud muffin with it on wink
Here we are at a state park. Its a favorite place for me take him, because he can be dog aggressive (he doesn't like unstable dogs rolleyes ). We must have walked about 2 hours. He was such a good boy, even when we did come across a little dog that tried to eat him XD
Chillin' on the playground like cool kids!
I tried to no avail to get him to look at me. Something across the river that I couldn't see was just so intriguing that he sat there are stared at it for like 5 minutes! rofl
I wish I could have gotten a few full shots of him, so you can really see how nice this harness looks on him, but asking him to stay in a public place is like asking a little kid not to touch the candy in the check out line at the grocery store. As soon as he thinks your not paying attention.... ninja

Vanilla eXee Dunno if i remember seeing a picture of your dogs before. Dweezle is a ham and a half! What a cutie. Hope the harness works out well ;D
Check out my albums on FaceBook! You'll find some there smile
Thanks! He's my boy heart He tries to be lap dog LOL Its funny XD
It seems to be working out well, last time I was at home to use it. Now I just need to teach him to respect the front door. He'll respect any other door, but the front door is just so exciting that he has to charge out head first and rip my arm off >.< Once we get walking though, as long as I keep the leash just short enough that there is very little slack, he'll walk next to me perfectly. Weening him off no slack is gunna be hard, though :/
Savage Destiny If he's still pulling at all, don't use it on him, please. Our doggie physical therapist treats a ton of dogs that use the Easy Walker and Sense-ation harnesses for shoulder injuries. If they keep pulling, it pushes their shoulders around, and over time creates arthritis and a lot of pain. I never recommend them at work anymore, not since I was talking with our PT about all the problems they cause.
He'll only pull if something catches his attention. As I told Nilla, as long as I keep very little slack in the leash, he's pretty good smile |
